Small things I’ve built for people whose craft is changing under them. They run entirely in your browser, which means your answers stay on your own machine and never reach me. The first half of every result is free. The rest comes with the weekly email.
For my students
Video basics, one lesson at a time
Free lessons on the camera, light, sound and editing that you can actually play with. Light a 3D head, set the level on a real recording, open and close a lens.

Walkthroughs of the software from my film and media production classes at Belmont, starting with Premiere Pro. Every step shows the cursor actually doing it, so you can follow along with the app open in the next window.

There’s a second one in progress for people who teach: you tell it what your assignment currently asks students to hand in, and it gives you back a version built around process and defence instead of the final artefact. That one comes out of a paper I presented at MEIEA this year.
If there’s something you keep doing by hand that a small tool would fix, tell me. nathan@nathaneadam.com. I can’t promise to build it, but I’ve built stranger things for worse reasons. :)
